One of three for trainer; trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October on good to yielding; ran a nice race in a Grade 3 Thurles novice chase in March (2m6f, soft) and bounced back from a poor effort at Fairyhouse when a distant second of 20 in a 2m1f Listed contest last time; firmly in the mix.

SR 102 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Didn't hang around over hurdles and won the second of his beginners' chase starts at Clonmel (2m2f, heavy) in December; fourth of nine in Grade 1 company next time at Leopardstown; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown festival in May (2m4f, yielding); never involved when favourite in a better Ballinrobe contest last time; blinkers go on, and he's of interest if they sharpen him.

One of three for trainer; beaten favourite in all four beginners' chase starts, the latest of which when 33l behind at Wexford after some jumps lacking in fluency; hard to trust and probably wants softer, but she's dangerous if putting it all together.

One of three for trainer; dual French hurdles winner is yet to score for this yard but has run well in defeat at times, including when runner-up at Punchestown on chasing debut (2m3f, soft); returned from over a year off at Cork (2m1f, yielding) when 23l fourth behind better-fancied stablemate; makes handicap chase debut now.

One of three for trainer; three-time winning hurdler got off the mark over fences in some style when 10l winner of Listed mares' handicap at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding to soft); 8lb higher now, but big player if that win wasn't an aberration.

Had very useful form in 2023 and looked sharper for his Flat return after 851 days off the track when a 12l sixth of ten at Wexford (2m, good to yielding); on a nice mark if continuing to shake off his rustiness.

One of three for trainer; maiden hurdle winner early last year; runner-up in six-runner Cork contest (2m1f, good to yielding) on handicap chase debut in April; another creditable effort back in a beginners' chase at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) last time, when well ahead of Mister Pink and Karoline Banbou.

Dual-winning chaser whose last win came at Listowel in September off 1lb lower (2m6f, good to yielding); looks up against it based on a failure to complete at Gowran over fences and Fairyhouse over hurdles before finishing tailed off here last time.

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; three beginners' chase runs for new yard back from a break haven't been much to shout about; may do better now in a handicap with an opening mark 7lb below his hurdles one.

Has won over hurdles but is 0-9 over fences; ground given as possible excuse for 45l defeat at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good) on return from 295-day break on latest; forecast rain a plus and has run respectably here before but others hold more pressing claims; sixth in 1.50 here on Saturday.

Recorded first win since 2024 when taking a Fairyhouse handicap over 2m5f last time despite jumping right late on; raised 5lb for that so will have to raise his game again, but has won off 4lb higher in the past.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
The Gradual Slope (SR 99, 10-5) carries the lightest weight in the field and arrives on the back of a last-time-out win — the rightmost digit in 'PP041-' reads as a seasonal separator, making his most recent completed run a '1', which is the strongest immediate form signal in this field. The weight advantage of 21lbs over top-weight Jalila Moriviere (SR 102, 11-12) is substantial on Good ground over 2m4f, and Sean O'Brien's runner has demonstrated he can get competitive at this level after those earlier pulled-up runs suggest he needed time to find his form. The SR of 99 is competitive within a tight field where the ceiling is only 104, and carrying just 10-5 gives him a clear lbs edge over every rival despite a modest ability ceiling.
Each-way alternative: Vaureal.
Main danger: Me Wee Bonnie Lass — Me Wee Bonnie Lass (SR 102, 11-5) shows a '1' two runs back in her form string 'P21-', carrying less than Jalila Moriviere and with Gavin Cromwell capable of placing horses to land a touch — she is live to reverse any rating deficit with favourable conditions.
